_longjmp/_setjmp do not manipulate the signal mask whilst
longjmp/setjmp may do. Online sources suggest this could result
in a significant speed up in the context switching.

If config'd without -d (--debug), asynctest was crashing with:
*** longjmp causes uninitialized stack frame ***
This is because gcc will add certain checks for some functions
(including longjmp). The checks assume you can only longjmp down the
stack not up. However, if we are actually jumping to a different
fibre then it can appear as if we are going up the stack when we are
not really. This change disables the check.

Add some clarifications to the async documentation. Also changed
ASYNC_pause_job() so that it returns success if you are not within the
context of a job. This is so that engines can be used either asynchronously
or synchronously and can treat an error from ASYNC_pause_job() as a real
error.

Don't recreate a new ASYNC_CTX every time we call ASYNC_start_job() - the
same one can be used for the life of the thread. Instead we only free it
up when we call ASYNC_free_pool().

The ASYNC null implementation has not kept pace with the rest of the async
development and so was failing to compile.

If an async event occurs during a renegotiation in SSL_read then s_server
was looping around, detecting we were in init and calling
init_ssl_connection instead of re-calling SSL_read.

Initial API implemented for notifying applications that an ASYNC_JOB
has completed. Currently only s_server is using this. The Dummy Async
engine "cheats" in that it notifies that it has completed *before* it
pauses the job. A normal async engine would not do that.
Only the posix version of this has been implemented so far, so it will
probably fail to compile on Windows at the moment.

It is expensive to create the ASYNC_JOB objects due to the "makecontext"
call. This change adds support for pools of ASYNC_JOB objects so that we
don't have to create a new ASYNC_JOB every time we want to use one.

Where we can we should use longjmp and setjmp in preference to swapcontext/
setcontext as they seem to be more performant.

The s_server option -WWW was not async aware, and therefore was not
handling SSL_ERROR_WANT_ASYNC conditions. This commit fixes that.

Removed the function ASYNC_job_is_waiting() as it was redundant. The only
time user code has a handle on a job is when one is waiting, so all they
need to do is check whether the job is NULL. Also did some cleanups to
make sure the job really is NULL after it has been freed!

Create a "null" async implementation for platforms that lack support. This
just does nothing when called and therefore performs synchronously.

A new -async option is added which activates SSL_MODE_ASYNC. Also
SSL_WANT_ASYNC errors are handled appropriately.

The following entry points have been made async aware:
SSL_accept
SSL_read
SSL_write
Also added is a new mode - SSL_MODE_ASYNC. Calling the above functions with
the async mode enabled will initiate a new async job. If an async pause is
encountered whilst executing the job (such as for example if using SHA1/RSA
with the Dummy Async engine), then the above functions return with
SSL_WANT_ASYNC. Calling the functions again (with exactly the same args
as per non-blocking IO), will resume the job where it left off.

This engine is for developers of async aware applications. It simulates
asynchronous activity with external hardware. This initial version supports
SHA1 and RSA. Certain operations using those algorithms have async job
"pauses" in them - using the new libcrypto async capability.

The forthcoming async code needs to use pthread thread local variables. This

this is an educated guess as I don't have access to most of these
